Huck do you want America to win in Iraq? Simple question or are you more interested in getting your dems back into power so they can raise taxes, cut and run and go after gun rights?

Sat66,
I don't think it's possible for us to win in Iraq. Do you? Do you think Iraq will end up being a model for democracy? We may have gotten rid of one mad leader, but he will be replaced by two or three new ones. That part of the world doesn't have a real track record for stability. No matter what we do there, it will never make a lasting change. If there ever was a chance for real change there, why did bush Sr. pull out of there? Most likely it was because he knew that an extended fight there wouldn't be worth the cost in American lives.
I'd like to see our troops come home & let the Iraqi's run their own country & solve their own problems, so we can return to the real work of raising taxes and grabbing guns. One more thing, any ideas on how to pay for the war without raising taxes????

Sat66,
I don't think it's possible for us to win in Iraq. Do you? Yes, but not if the Dems win and we give up.

Do you think Iraq will end up being a model for democracy? It very well could be. Remember the pictures of all those purple fingers after the last elections in Iraq? Several million Iraqi's voting in the last elections there proved they understand the concept and want to have a society based on the will of the people.

We may have gotten rid of one mad leader, but he will be replaced by two or three new ones. That part of the world doesn't have a real track record for stability. Thats the idea, to plant the seed into the minds of the people in the region that there is something better. Remember, many parts of the world refused to recognize the right of the people to decide their own goverment until we introduced the system. Japan and Germany come to mind.

No matter what we do there, it will never make a lasting change. Wrong, everything we do there has the potential to make a change. The key is to plan for the long term and continue to develop the country. "Lasting change" obviously entails a lasting commitment. To think you can make a lasting change by temporary or short term means is ludicrous.

If there ever was a chance for real change there, why did bush Sr. pull out of there? Most likely it was because he knew that an extended fight there wouldn't be worth the cost in American lives.Wrong again. Bush publicly stated that our mission was to remove Sadamm from Quwait as the U.N. mandate stated. We had no consensus or mandate to remove him from power in Iraq.

I'd like to see our troops come home & let the Iraqi's run their own country & solve their own problems, so we can return to the real work of raising taxes and grabbing guns. Exactly the Liberal strategy. GIVE UP!

One more thing, any ideas on how to pay for the war without raising taxes????

We have been over and you know full well why Bush 41 did not take out Saddam. He had to appease the lefty world, the dem congress and the UN to get the coalition that you guys think is so important still today. How come your guys are not calling for a coalition to go against No Korea? I recall dems saying we should go alone if need be. Hypocrites with an agenda is all you guys are.
I remember you same appeasers whinning that Reagan was wrong and would start a war. You were against standing up to the Soviets too. We won that one.
The fact that you think America can't win is disgusting to me. If instead of obstruction and complaint your dems sided with our nation instead of giving terrorists rights, revealing secret programs and bashing our military we would have been out of Iraq already. You guys are only concerned with getting back into power. You want America to lose to be put at risk just so Pelosi can be speaker, Rangel can raise taxes and Conyers can start impeachment nonsense.
